Okay, I've been all over this forum and CHT in general for the past 6 months trying to figure out what subs to get to replace my recently departed ULS-15. I am already on the list for some SHO-10s, and realized today that I need to buy some stands for them. What better stand for a speaker than a great sub? My room is the antithesis of ideal. It's 25x20', has 25 foot ceilings, open in the back to the foyer and kitchen, with windows and doors along the opposite wall. Originally I was planning on getting a pair of SS-18.2s, but the VS-18.1s are getting all kinds of positive press right now. I have also considered going with a pair of SS-18.1s for now, and adding more later if needed. I'm also still wanting to see what happens with the CHT mystery amp that I see mentioned every once in a while, and that Craig suggested might be ready by October. I know the Sub1 amp is a great matched BASH amp, but I want to run pro amps for everything. I have 3 QSC DCAs running my LCRs, and I just love the layout of using rackmount equipment. So my question is, do I buy those beautiful countersunk 18.2s that I can't find a pic of, or the VS-18.1s? Or should I go with 2 SS 18.1s for now, and then add later? I have always had sealed subs, so I have no real experience with vented solutions, so that is also a concern. I'm not looking for a real answer, just more of a collection of opinions from you owners. Thank you. :)

Pics of the SS-18.2 can be found in the webstore and this thread. :)
That is a big space to fill, aiden. Perhaps multiple VS subs?

So I have 2 votes for 18.2s, 1 for VS-18.1s... should I have made this a poll? :)

Okay, added a poll. While you guys are helping me out, can you give me advice on how to convince my wife that this is the correct way to set up your HT when you only have one wall to work with...Attached Files
